What you see above is a naked girl with only her head covered.Her
natural nude body represent the beauty of the land of Brazil, tangled with
bar wire representing the strong hand of the government causing the body
to bleed.

She is in protests against the Nascituro (unborn child) Project, in BRAZIL.
Government, supported by the right wing and religious parties, propose
the compulsory registration of every pregnancy.

Intense
protests are taking place by feminist and human rights groups. This law,
if approved, is UNconstitutional, violates women's right to privacy and
threatens their already limited reproductive rights.Yes
she does need to be naked just precisely to prove a point. Nobody owns
our bodies, nobody but us, nobody has the right to cast judgment on what
is our body.

Remarks
about being decent - Oh my goodness what era do we belong to? Get a
grip, there is nothing shameful about the human body, there is
everything shameful about dogma and ideology that seeks to punish people
for being people. The human body is not a sin. How people treat others
sometimes is the only shame. Love and let be.I
think it's interesting that some people only comment on her nudity. She
is a human being. Making a statement. Her body and her privacy are up
for question, why would she not stand nude and strong as the woman that
she is. Obviously it called for attention
and that was the point. That her body would be scrutinized in front of
the government. So, you scrutinize as well. Get with the program. The
world is changing and some areas are not changing for the better. I
appreciate her courage and her stand. Congratulations on pointing out
the obviously nude woman. Read the message, not her sexualized nudity.If you find this to be funny or embarrassing then you're missing the point. This took tremendous courage and humility.

People
here saying "Why naked", " She doesn't prove a point".

Do you even know
anything about the Brazilian constitution ?!? Did you know women get
raped on the daily basis and they cannot get a legal abortion? The law are trying to implant states that the embryo has human rights as an embryo, taking away all the rights from the woman herself, estates
that every pregnancy must be registered and if an abortion occurs even a
spontaneous one, she might get prosecuted for it as she will be
investigated. It also abolishes the after pill as it would be classified
as a direct method of murder. Women victims of rape would get help
from government to bring up the child, if they come forward to the
police naming the suspect, which most times, is shameful or dangerous.

YES SHE HAD TO BE NAKED!!! Because in Brazil , women , specially poor
and black women do not have a voice ! We do have to fight to be heard to
be seen, to be taken into consideration ! READ ABOUT THEIR CONSTITUTION
BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING !

This
particular law project has been created by two men who are neither
doctors or have uterus. Instead, they have been heavily supported by the
church specially Catholicism.This
project claims that any fecundated egg will have civil rights given by
the state. No abortion will be allowed (neither by rape or danger to
women's health), in fact if it is by rape: the state will pay a minimum
wage to the mother till the child reaches 18. And if she wishes, the
rapist name can be on birth certificate too.If by any chance an abortion happens, she will be investigated by the State and face prosecution.

Bare in mind, 75% of the countries in the world already adopted legal abortion mostly already legalized. If Brazil passes this project, not only goes against the Commission of Medicine but the most retro-ceded in the world.I
do think that pussy riot can have a colonial logic, in Brazil though
this is not the case. In this sense are all those comments, particularly
of men judging a woman or women judging a woman in another context
about her nakedness purely paternalistic, reactionary and sexist! shame
on you, you are not better than Feliciano and his Christian
fundamentalist gang, you defend change but repress women's rights.Issue at hand is not that she is naked the issue is the cause she is standing up for.

I think the cause is important. Furthermore, why are we so ashamed to see a naked women or men?

We
use to live naked in earlier days. That's where we came from. There are
numerous tribes in the world where people still live naked. We are ashamed
of nudity because we are use to cloths.

How many women are raped even if when they are wearing clothes?Yesterday
there were 3 women who were robbed first and then they were paraded
naked in the town. I know they will not get justice but when a women
willingly takes her cloth off to protest we start questioning her
intentions and morality! Why?

Government
institutions are watching our moves they are getting into our bedrooms
(the most intimate place). But we are afraid to protest against that
government naked? Who decides?

I salute her courage to be naked in this society and commend her efforts for better living place.
